Every completed RCL kit is an accurate model of the prototype.

RCL kits provide basic part information such as manufacturer, their catalog number(s) along with historical data and references are also provided with most of our products to assist the modeler in researching a prototype so that a correct recreation of a prototype car can be made.

Red Cap Line parts are made from the following materials:

State-of-the-art molded injected plastic.

Fine details being etched parts.

Multi-media materials, including RCL's patented reflective film for mirrors, etc.

Interior partitions are designed and engineered to prototype car builders erecting details and assemblies so that near exact models of the actual interiors can be created. Each type of the partition kit is designed to model the prototype(s) listed for that particular kit.
